Lagavulin Distillers Edition
4/508
Distilled 2013
Bottled 2019
Nose: white grapefruit, dark chocolate, burned sugar, very mild wet ash
Appearance: Color - bourbon, thin tears in glass
Mouth: raspberry on back of tongue salt on the sides and center of the tongue, just a hint of smoke, modestly peaty. Oak for certain, not much on the sherry notes as expected. Heat like from white pepper, and slight clove
Finish: not too long but has some vanilla, salt water, very faint Lagavulin smoked meat - that leaves quickly.
It’s probably a good entry point for those new to Islay. I found it a bit weak, but’s good every day/every one type scotch.
Probably will not buy again, but would recommend to a new Islay explorer. I’ll stay with 16, or Ardbeg Uigeadail.
